Cavy Cages is a Guinea Pig Cages website providing information on proper guinea pig cages and sizes. Before you buy a cage, check out this website. The Cubes and Coroplast design is superior in many ways. If you have any questions, please post them on the Cavy Cages Forum. Feel free to post comments in the guest book and on individual photos, but please post questions on the forum.
This album highlights photos of Kara's cage. She made a base using grids and a stand using grids. She has some allergies in their family. They lift the entire cage off of the stand and carry the grids with the coroplast outdoors for cleaning.
The bright little things at the connectors are cable ties or zip ties. They are plastic ties available at hardware and home improvement stores used to bind wire cords together to keep them from being messy. You can buy a big package of them for just a dollar or two. Kara used the zip ties to make the cage very strong by reinforcing all of the connections.
These photos also show how she made a hack rack out of an extra grid. She looped some cable ties together at the top. She cut some extra Coroplast for the back of the hay rack to prevent spillage out the back of the cage.

After seeing all these wonderful designs, I can't wait to get start on designing a new cage for Princess. We're thinking about adding another female to the cage so this will be the incentive to make it bigger. - Roz, Thu, 28 Jun 2007 2:24PM

Got lots of information about piggies. No cedar or pine shavings! I've used them for YEARS! No more. Those grid cages are a great idea and a sight cheaper than those tiny "piggy homes" sold in pet stores. A friend built my piggies a cage...7' long 2 1/2' wided and high. - abby, Sun, 27 Aug 2006 9:08AM
